Fig. 3: Phylogeny of the family Anaplasmataceae constructed using maximum-likelihood (ML) estimations based on 16S rDNA sequences with a total of 1149 unambiguously aligned bp (best-fit approximation for the evolutionary model: GTR + G + I).

Only one 16S rDNA sequence per genovariant and per host species are shown for data produced in this study. A complete phylogenetic tree displaying all the sequences generated in this study is provided in Supplementary Fig. 2. For Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Ca. Allocryptoplasma detected in French Guiana, host type (humans, wild mammals, passerines or ticks) is shown by black squares. *, 16S rDNA sequences of Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Ca. Allocryptoplasma obtained in this study; **, Ca. Anaplasma sparouinense, Ca. Anaplasma amazonensis, and Ca. Ehrlichia cajennense MAGs obtained in this study. GenBank accession numbers of other sequences used in analyses are shown on the phylogenetic trees. Numbers at nodes indicate bootstrap support percentage with 1,000 replicates. Only bootstrap values > 90% are shown. The scale bar is in units of mean number of substitutions/site.
